Embodiment

Below by drawings and Examples, technical scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.

In order to solve the wasting of resources that exists in the existing about car service system of taxi, problems such as the numerous and diverse and inefficiency of about car process, the present invention proposes multiple intelligence hereinafter and grouies busy and race to be the first to answer a question about car implementation, by the application site communication, GIS-Geographic Information System (Geography Information System, be called for short GIS) and technology such as soft switch control, between taxi and passenger, set up directly, convenient, real-time information communication channel, simultaneously in conjunction with parameters such as urban highway traffic distribution and congestions, design the about car demand that satisfies automatically in passenger's trip by optimizing algorithm and system complete, can improve the operational paradigm of urban taxi.

As shown in Figure 2, group busy the schematic flow sheet of first embodiment that races to be the first to answer a question about car method for intelligence of the present invention.In the present embodiment, intelligence grouies busy that racing to be the first to answer a question about wagon flow journey comprises:

About car request that step 101, the about car platform of taxi mobile terminal receive send, described about car request comprises the positional information of number and the described portable terminal of described portable terminal;

The number of step 102, the described portable terminal of described taxi about car platform buffer memory;

Step 103, the about car platform of described taxi are determined corresponding peripheral parameters according to the geographical environment of the positional information correspondence of described portable terminal;

Step 104, the about car platform of described taxi are searched unloaded taxi in the described portable terminal peripheral extent according to described peripheral parameters;

Step 105, the about car platform of described taxi are carried out time consuming analysis to the positional information of each unloaded taxi of finding and the positional information of described portable terminal, obtain distance and consumption time that described each unloaded taxi arrives the driving path of described portable terminal;

Step 106, the about car platform of described taxi sorted and definite priority level according to the described consumption time, determined the taxi information of waiting to exhale unloaded taxi of predetermined number;

Step 107, the about car platform startup of described taxi are grouied busy and are raced to be the first to answer a question flow process, the about car demand information that generates is notified to grouies busy and race to be the first to answer a question the unloaded taxi of racing to be the first to answer a question success in the flow process, and the described relevant information of racing to be the first to answer a question the unloaded taxi of success is sent to described portable terminal.

In the present embodiment, the passenger can use portable terminal to send about car request to the about car platform of taxi, and about car request can be finished by the data channel of mobile radio communication CDMA 1x or EVDO and upload.This portable terminal can be the terminal that has unique communication number, portable terminal need be supported at least a locate mode in addition, for example support multiple locate modes such as GPS, AGPS, location, base station, the 3rd network positions, can obtain portable terminal accurate relatively positional information, for example latitude and longitude information.

If portable terminal is supported two or more locate modes, then portable terminal can be selected wherein more excellent locate mode according to self present residing geographical environment.There is some difference for the positioning accuracy of every kind of locate mode, therefore when obtaining the precise position information of portable terminal, can also obtain the error range of this more excellent locate mode correspondence, like this follow-up when sending about car request to the about car platform of taxi, this error range is sent to the about car platform of taxi in company with precise position information, so that the about car platform of taxi is understood the positional precision situation of the positional information that receives portable terminal, can select different processing modes with this.For example at the locate mode of customer location accuracy higher (in 10 meters), can be by the about car of figure sheet mode, can be pushed to the taxi driver by generating about car demand information and racing to be the first to answer a question the successful back mode by note, multimedia message or voice the taxi driver under this mode.This about car demand information can comprise demand rise time, natural language description and/or GIS-Geographic Information System figure agreement that contracts a film or TV play to an actor or actress car demand information.Therefore this mode only need carry out system and taxi driver's dialogue and just can finish about car process owing to can determine passenger position accurately.

But the locate mode for accuracy general (10-500 rice), for fear of cause carrying accurately because of error, then can be by the about car of voice mode, this voice mode is to link up in the demand that can't get access to a kind of voice mode of (10-500 error of meter scope) under the situation of user exact position, essence is exactly directly to provide voice to link up speech channel for user and taxi driver racing to be the first to answer a question successfully the back system, realize person to person's dialogue, and unloaded taxi to be system pass through location matches from a plurality of taxi drivers, time consuming analysis, mode such as race to be the first to answer a question combines and screens and draws.The main practicality of this kind mode is to reduce the threshold of the stationkeeping ability of customer mobile terminal.

Based on foregoing description, if in another embodiment in step 101, the positional precision of the corresponding positional information of error range in the about car request of transmission that the about car platform of taxi receives is lower than preset range, then after the about car platform startup of taxi described in the step 107 grouies busy to race to be the first to answer a question flow process, also comprise:

If the positional precision of the corresponding positional information of error range in the about car request of transmission that the about car platform of taxi receives in the step 101 is not less than preset range, then adopt the normal flow in the step 107 among first embodiment.

After the about car platform of taxi has got access to mobile terminal number and positional information, owing to will be used in this number subsequent notification flow process, therefore need this number information of first buffer memory.Positional information then realizes the pairing process of passenger and unloaded taxi as important match information.As shown in Figure 3, group busy to race to be the first to answer a question for intelligence of the present invention and utilize the peripheral parameters of portable terminal place environment correspondence to search the idiographic flow schematic diagram of unloaded taxi process among about car method embodiment.Compare with a last embodiment, utilize the peripheral parameters of portable terminal place environment correspondence to search unloaded taxi process in the present embodiment step 103-104 has been carried out refinement, specifically comprise:

Step 201, analyze the geographical environment situation of described portable terminal periphery according to the positional information of described portable terminal, judge the geographical attribute of described portable terminal present position;

Step 202, inquire about the geographical attribute that arranges on the about car platform of described taxi and the data table of comparisons of peripheral parameters according to described geographical attribute, obtain the peripheral parameters of described geographical attribute correspondence;

Step 203, determine circumference type peripheral extent or polygon peripheral extent centered by described portable terminal according to peripheral parameters;

Step 204, search the unloaded taxi in this peripheral extent in the unloaded taxi positional information storehouse in the about car platform of described taxi according to the circumference type peripheral extent of determining or polygon peripheral extent.

In the present embodiment, the about car platform of taxi can be held the geographical environment information of passenger's periphery of portable terminal according to the positional information analysis of portable terminal, judges the geographical attribute of this position, for example city center, suburbs, bridge, tunnel etc.

Corresponding to different geographical attributes, the ruuning situation of taxi is different, and corresponding peripheral parameters is difference to some extent also.For instance, for the city center, because taxi is comparatively intensive, so its corresponding peripheral parameters is less usually, so just can control the taxi quantity of selecting and be unlikely to too much; For suburbs, because taxi is more sparse, so its corresponding peripheral parameters is bigger usually, so just can control the taxi quantity of selecting and be unlikely to very few, to such an extent as to be difficult to that the match is successful.For specific geographical environments such as bridge, tunnels, also need to consider the characteristics of its elongated shape.

Peripheral parameters can be radius or the diameter of circumference, can determine a circular periphery zone centered by portable terminal easily by this.Peripheral parameters also can be phase mutual edge distance and the angular relationship of polygonal a plurality of angle points, can determine the coordinate of a plurality of angle points of the polygon peripheral extent centered by portable terminal by this.

Can keep the data table of comparisons of a geographical attribute and peripheral parameters at the about car platform of taxi, the form of table also can be database.Can obtain the peripheral parameters of geographical attribute correspondence by inquiry.The about car platform of taxi can be determined the scope of peripheral parameters correspondence in conjunction with the GIS engine, determines unloaded taxi in this peripheral extent according to the unloaded taxi positional information storehouse in the about car platform of taxi again.But each unloaded taxi should be provided with car-mounted terminal or other communication equipment that can contact of vehicle GPS and communication, so just can be got access to the position of the current operation of corresponding taxi by the about car platform of taxi, thereby realizes accurate screening and pairing.

Utilize peripheral parameters can determine the unloaded taxi of some, if all call out, then can cause bigger pressure to the about car platform of taxi, and adopt the peripheral extent that peripheral parameters confines and reckon without actual road conditions, therefore may there be the unloaded taxi that is worth of pairing of a part.Based on this situation, the present invention further selects the superior to mate by time consuming analysis on the basis of the unloaded taxi that finds out.

As shown in Figure 4, group busy the idiographic flow schematic diagram of racing to be the first to answer a question time consuming analysis process among about car method embodiment for intelligence of the present invention.Compare with first embodiment, the time consuming analysis process has been carried out refinement to step 105 in the present embodiment, specifically comprises:

Step 301, behind the unloaded taxi of having determined in peripheral extent, obtain the positional information of each unloaded taxi;

Step 302, each unloaded taxi is carried out simulaed path to the distance in the driving path of described portable terminal calculate, according to traffic parameter and engineering condition parameter the described distance that calculates is adjusted;

Step 303, estimate the consumption time that each unloaded taxi arrives described portable terminal according to the average speed in the driving path of each unloaded taxi correspondence.

In the present embodiment, owing to have vehicle GPS in the unloaded taxi, therefore the about car platform of taxi can obtain the more specific location information that the unloaded taxi in peripheral extent reports, for example latitude and longitude information etc. also can be inquired about acquisition by the unloaded taxi location database that preamble is mentioned.

After the positional information of the positional information of having determined portable terminal and each unloaded taxi, just can simulate the road as calculated in conjunction with the GIS engine, specifically, be exactly as two points with portable terminal and any unloaded taxi, and calculating point-to-point driving path distance, the driving path distance should be according to the existing road in the GIS engine, the rough estimate distance that crossing, road etc. calculates, in this calculates, do not consider traffic parameter and the engineering condition parameter that may occur at present, can carry out the first screening of the unloaded taxi of some earlier by this rough estimate distance.

When screening, can sort according to the driving path distance, and select the predetermined number unloaded taxi of (also comprising predetermined quantitative range) according to the nearer standard of relative driving path distance.

After the first screening, can also adjust the distance in the driving path that calculates according to traffic parameter and engineering condition parameter.The traffic parameter can comprise situations such as traffic congestion, traffic control, and the engineering condition parameter can comprise situations such as road construction, road change its course.Traffic parameter and engineering condition parameter can also can be obtained from third-party information platform by the image data calculating acquisition voluntarily of the about car platform of taxi.In conjunction with these parameters, need adjust the driving path distance that calculates, and then obtain the driving path distance of actual capabilities, and sort by the driving path distance according to actual capabilities, postsearch screening goes out the predetermined number unloaded taxi of (also comprising predetermined quantitative range).

By postsearch screening, then can get rid of by the unloaded taxi that the driving path distance of some actual capabilities is far away, obtain having more the partial unloading taxi that pairing is worth.Use outside the low coverage principle of priority main, it is also conceivable that and take into account the unloaded taxi principle of priority that remains static.From the unloaded taxi that these postsearch screenings go out, can estimate the consumption time that each unloaded taxi arrives described portable terminal according to the average speed in the driving path of each unloaded taxi correspondence.

After calculating the consumption time of each unloaded taxi, just can determine the speed that unloaded taxi arrives the passenger position by ordering, as priority level, can further select part (can be the unloaded taxi of predetermined quantity) or whole unloaded taxi as waiting to exhale unloaded taxi with this.This mode can the maximized minimizing user Yue Che stand-by period, improves the response speed of taxi, avoids the problems such as promise breaking complaint because waiting for that about car overlong time causes.

Next, the about car platform of taxi can utilize the soft switch control mode to realize grouping busy the process of racing to be the first to answer a question.This process specifically comprises: the about car platform of taxi is created videoconference, and treat according to the priority level that the front is determined and to exhale unloaded taxi to call out one by one, do not connecting wait in the calling procedure one by one, and connect as the sign of racing to be the first to answer a question success with unloaded taxi, when racing to be the first to answer a question successfully, the about car platform of taxi stops the calling to other unloaded taxis.
